Quality of Models

Abstract

In this chapter, we describe a framework for understanding quality in conceptual modelling (SEQUAL), including examples of means to achieve model quality of different levels (such as tool functionality and modelling techniques being appropriate for the development of models of high quality). Quality is discussed on seven levels: physical, empirical, syntactic, semantic, pragmatic, social, and deontic. How different quality types build upon each other is also indicated.
